Another Romp with Jackson

We took Jackson on another romp today which I will illustrate with some satellite photos.

Photo 1 shows the general area including Loco, the drive (yellow) to the training/romp area, the area including the ravine, and the satellite track (red).

In Photo 2, the red GPS track in the ravine appears as a bunch of squiggly lines because Jackson and I walked back & forth, Jackson fetching, etc.

I mentioned in my post on April 8, that Jackson leaped in the "high, green grass." All that brown you see in the upper left is actually green now -the satellite photo was probably taken last fall.

In my post on February 26, I described a road “about 1/3-mile long.” Photo 3 shows that road which is actually 0.33 miles according to my GPS tracker. As you can see, this is an ideal area for training as there are few distractions and a safe place to let a dog run.

Jackson did very well again today. As it was wall-to-wall sunshine with a temperature of 84F, we were both pretty thirsty when we returned to Loco Ln. He wasted no time getting to his drinking fountain.
